Description:
The components for a wind turbine on the wind farm near me is manufactured on the other side of the globe and transported to South Africa by freight ship. From the harbor it is carried on no less than 9 abnormally large trucks, piece by piece. It is then placed carefully on the site near its base. Seen from this angle, it clearly says: Kazimla! Kazimla is a Xhosa word meaning “shine”. There is a strange relationship between landscape and alien components which is unexpectedly peaceful, even happy.
